Earth Atlas: Creating a KML tree with Ext JS

A new version of Earth Atlas is now available (earthatlas.info). Earth Atlas demonstrates how a Google Earth-like user interface can be created in the web browser. This is achieved by combining the Google Earth API and the Ext JS library. Earth Atlas has no server-side dependencies, - the data layers are provided by loading various KML files.

Nice job! Thanks for posting the source for 'Ext.ux.GEarthPanel.js' to Google. I am trying to extend the application by adding a panel for finding a location using the Google Geocoder. I am having a what I think is a scoping issue because 'button.earthPanel.location' is undefined (can't reference the value of the 'location' textfield. What am I doing wrong?
